Roads Minister inspects ongoing major road projects in Western Region

Residents of Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis will soon heave a sign of relief as the government is putting in place measures to undertake some interventions on the road network around the PTC Interchange to ease the burden of road users.

Hon. Francis Asenso-Boakye visited the PTC Interchange Project as part of his working visit to the Western Region.

The Minister indicated that the government, through the Ministry of Finance, is “negotiating with its creditors for the resumption of work and completion of the project.”

“I’m aware of the concerns of residents here in Sekondi-Takoradi about the inconvenience that this construction has brought to them and as a result, we are deciding to make sure that a part of the contract is taken out from the main contract with the Sino-Hydro contractors, given to a different contractor with new funding to complete some minimal interventions on the ground here to reduce the inconvenience,” the Minister said.
